It's an American thing. Other countries treat them like the public workers they are supposed to be. Respected but not idolized.
I hope she comes.around, @brandylynn94. I have a couple of good friends who vote Trump and although we disagree politically, we love each other. I really think discussing politics can be a bad thing if people can't keep their feelings in check and perspective.
I think the rhetoric that goes on, that all Trump voters are racist people is not good at all. One, it isn't true, and two, it puts people in a very.offended and impossible situation to have any meaningful exchange of ideas.
I'm so sorry! That's not how friendship is supposed to be. Open ended questions and heart to heart conversations filled with true love and compassion would solve so much of what is wrong in this world. One can never be taught or teach if everyone walks away at the first sign of difference.
